Middleware hooks like `process_exception`, `process_template_response`,
`process_view` factually work on function middleware (though
`process_template_response` requires a gentle adjustment to how middleware
name is computed).

This is undocumented behavior, so it would probably be best to codify it
in documentation.

Comment (by Tim McCurrach):

I'm not aware of this being a duplicate ticket, but it does appear to be a
duplicate of these existing PRs:
https://github.com/django/django/pull/19856
https://github.com/django/django/pull/19857

My tuppence worth is that it's kind of an implementation detail that the
hooks happen to work with function-based middleware. Whilst I don't have
much objection to documenting them (and so officially supporting them), I
really can't imagine a scenario where I would ever want to write
middleware by decorating a function with these hooks. Maybe there is a
use-case though??
